Just want to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Weekend and remind us all of the important history of our beloved Jeeps. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Sorry, it’s long... In July of 1941, after the U.S. Army defined a list of specifications needed for an extreme scout vehicle that could handle anything it encountered, the first Jeeps were born. The Army purchased 16,000 Willys MBs; with most of them shipped to American allies in England and Russia. It gained popularity quickly and the lightweight 4-wheel-drive vehicle became the preferred choice for the U.S. Army and Allied Forces during World War II.
It was called a General Purpose Vehicle (GP), hence the name Jeep. The seven slots in the grill represent the seven continents. 🌎|||||||🌎 I can only imagine how many lives may have been saved because of this one little vehicle. With an almost 80 year history, the Jeep has a rich heritage born of freedom, authenticity, pride, and passion. And is the only vehicle today, worldwide, with a consistently strong bond between owner and vehicle. I have to believe this is because of its original military use and history.❤️ Today, I’m thinking of every soldier who fought for our freedom, and those who continue to fight. Thank you! Please remember our troops as you celebrate with your families this weekend🇺🇸❤️🙏. God bless our Troops, their families, and God bless America. 🇺🇸|||||||🇺🇸 #jeepwrangler#jeep#4x4#offroad#2019#stingray#gray#jeeplove#jeepwave#jlu#jluwrangler#stinggray#jeepsofinstagram#itsajeepthing#trucks#jeepjl#jeepwranglerunlimited#itsajeepthing#siriusxm#jeepsports#jeepin#jeepwave#gotoplessday#toppless#jeeping#mud#jeepfreeks#jeeplove#fourwheeldrive#toppless#memorialday#silive
